[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63803] Saving causes OOM, crash, and loss of already saved data

[Arun Giridhar]

Update of bug #63803 (project octave):

                  Status:                   Fixed => In Progress            
             Open/Closed:                  Closed => Open

Follow-up Comment #28:

The technique of writing to a temp file and then renaming that as the desired
file breaks the case where "-append" is passed as an input option.

Reopening as in progress.

1. Should we do the temp file technique only for cases without "-append"?

2. Or should we copy the old file (if it exists) to the temp file, write to
it, which will preserve "-append" behavior if given, then rename the temp file
at the end? 

Was this solved for the GUI case? Where is that code located?
